What is Text Message Marketing?

SMS marketing is a direct and effective tool to add to any marketing mix. It’s a way for your business to mass text customers using a short message service (SMS) who opt-in to receive these messages. The opt-in process is simple: a customer texts a short code number from their phone number to enroll in text messages from your business. By doing this, they agree to receive transactional and promotional messages from your business. Once they've opted in, you've got instant access to your customers, wherever they are!

Build Better Relationships

Drive higher engagement and action because of the timeliness of SMS marketing messages. Your customers will love being in the know!

Your Message: Read

SMS marketing has an average open rate of over 90%. This means reaching your customers right in the palms of their hands with marketing messages like offers, updates, and critical reminders.

Optimize Your Marketing

SMS marketing can often be more effective than other marketing channels, such as email marketing or social media.

Why Use SMS Marketing for Your Business?

SMS marketing is a highly effective tool to add to your marketing toolbox, enabling you to send personalized and time-sensitive messages to customers while being cost-effective and seamlessly integrating with your existing marketing and CRM tools.
